Toall whom, it may concerne.

Beit .known that AI, Geenen. NORMAN. SA-Nf- Nnss, a citizen. ofA the.United States, and a resident of; the city of Chicago., county oi Cooleand; StateA oli Illinois, have invented certain new anduseul'llnrprovements*in a Combination. AshE Receiver and CigarLighter,.o;t which the olloWi-ng is aspeciffl cation... v

My invention` relates` tol a combi-nation ash; receiver amici-gar..Lighter, and has.- for its paramount object the provision` o an innproved constructionv ot this character whiolr wilt he. highlyserviceable` in@ use..

A further objectot nny. invention is. theprovision of a simplyconsti-'ueteddevice et, the character specified, ca .ableof holding aconsiderable quantity of wel and equipped;

with a main ash. receiviiw reservoir, and.

which in addition has ar'reely removable hood or cover containing anash. tray adapted to be'til-ted. for discharge of' its contentsintothemain.. ashreceiving reservoir.

Other objectswill appear hereinafter.`

The invention .consists in the combi-nations and arrangeinentsv of partshereinattcr described and claimed..

The invention will= be best nnderstocxil hyrefterence to theaccompanyingdrawings forminga part of this specification, and in. which,

1 device;

Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken ontho line 2--2 of Fig. 1; and

Fig. is a similar section taken on the line 2%3 of Fig. 2.

ln accordance with the crnbodimei'it exemplii'ied in the accompanyingdrawing, my improved device includes two receptacles or shells 4 and 5,supported one within the other, the receptacle designated as 4 beingthe. inner receptacle and the receptacle designated as 5 being the outerone, both receptacles preferably being made in the square form shown.These receptacles have open tops, and the inner receptacle 4, which isintended to serve as an ash containing reservoir, is supported withinthe outer receptacle 5, in spaced relation thereto, by means of spacingblocks 6, held by rivets 7, which are passed through the walls of thereceptacles 4 and 5. The space 8 between the walls of the receptacles 4and 5 to) )lan view of ni ini )roved is intended to be used as areservoir for holding fuel, preferably alcohol.

The. fuel reservoir; 8, tli-.us formed, is closed at the topA byapplying upon the topi endsoi the; receptaoles4 and 5.- a: Square plate95. ptetvidedwith a fuel; inlet 10v and an opening-11'. In. which iSseated a. lightiugdeuice present:` ly to he explained. The plate. Slispreferably secured? upon thetop edgesfof the; recepby solderingor.weldingit..theren.. The fuel opening 10 is provided with a. uelreceiving month. or; sleeve 12.l im which 'is lit- -ted a removable plug13, preferably .naadei of cork. In the openingv 11, is. fitted; a-tubr1-4 adaptedtocarry a. wick. 15., the' saidtnbe beingo-.f a lengthtoextend an apprciable:

distance: into-1 the; fuel' elia-lieber.V 8, and-ther. wick beingextended; downwardly .beyond the: end of safidtube in orderto reachtlm-bottom: regionL of the fuel reservoir.

16 represents a hood or cover, also-made of.' Square. forni as shown andbeing ot sufficient dimensions toincase theouterreceptacle 5'. asclearly shown in Figs. Qiand 3, this. hoodE or cover being openatthebottom but. hav-f ing a top 17 i-n which is provided a centralcircular aperture 18. The top.17 of the hood also has a circularaperture 19throug-h which the tube 1.4.may be projected. when vthe hoodis. applied so that :the wiel; 15. carried by this tube may beavailable; troni thenoutside of the structure as means ot lightingcigars, cigarettes and pipes. The central aperture 18. is. normallyclosed by an ash receiving tray 20, having-a dish-shaped bottom-21 anda. circ-ldap rim. 22 which is curled upon itself' in order to. snuglytit within the aperture 18. as shown. This ash receiving trayisl1.i1.1g' edly engaged at 23 with the top 17, this hinged engagementbeing at the underside of said top so that the tray will Swingdownwardly into the ash receiving receptacle 4 and discharge thereinto.Opposite the hinge 23 the tray 20 has a projecting lug 24 to which isattached the end ol. a chain 25 that is passed upwardly through anaperture 26 in the top 17. The chain 25 is of such length that it willextend downwardly over the outer receptacle 5 and it is provided with aball or weight 26' intended to counterbalance the ash tray 20, holdingthe latter properly seated in the aperture 18. /Vhen it is desired todischarge ashes from the tray 2O into the receptacle 4, it is onlynecessary to li t up the chain 25 permitting it to be drawn downwardlythrough the aperture 26, so that the tray will swing by gravity intodischarging position. Obviously, when it is desired to close theaperture 18 the chain 25 is drawn upwardly through the aperture 26 andthe Weighted end of the chain permitted to drop over the side of theouter receptacle 5.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred form ofconstruction for carrying my invention into effect, this is capable ofvariation and modification without departing from the spirit of theinvention. I therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise detailsof construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of such variationsand modifications as come within the scope of the appended claims.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secureby Lette-rs Patent is:

1. A device of the class described including two receptacles arrangedone within the other in spaced relation and providing a fuel'fchamberbetween the walls thereof, and a hood member removably incasing saidreceptacles and carrying a tray member adapted to dischar e into theinner one of said receptacles, su stantially as described. n

2. A device of the class described including corresponding receptaclesarranged'one within the other, spacer members supporting the innerreceptacle from the 'outer receptacle and providing a fuel chambertherebetween, anda hood member removably -incasing said receptacles andcarrying a tray member adapted to discharge into said inner receptacle,substantially as described.

3. A device of the class described including two receptacles arrangedone within the other in spaced relation and providing a fuel chambertherebetween, a hood member incasing said receptacles and having a topopening, and a tray member adapted to discharge -into the inner one ofsaid receptacles hinged to said hood membe-r'and normally closing saidtop opening, .substantially as described.

4. A device of the class described including an outer receptacle, acorresponding inner receptacle supported in spaced relation thereto andproviding a fuel reservoir between said receptacles, and a wicked deviceassociated with said reservoir, substantially as described.

5. A device of the class described including outer and innerreceptacles, spacer members supporting the inner receptacle fromtheouter receptacle to provide a fuel reservoir around the innerreceptacle, a sealing member between said receptacles, and a wickeddevice associated with said sealing member, substantially as described.

6. A device of the class described including outer and innerreceptacles, spacer members supporting the inner receptacle from theouter receptacle to provide a fuel reser- Voir around the innerreceptacle, a wicked device projecting from said reservoir, a hoodmember placed over and incasing said receptacles and having an openingvthrough which said wicked device passes, substantially as described.

' 7. A device of the class described including two receptacles arrangedone within the other and havi spaced side, end'and bottom wallsproviding a fuel reservoir between said receptacles, a wicked deviceprojecting forwardly from said reservoir, a hood member placed over andincasing said receptacles and having an opening for the projectiontherethrough of said wicked de vice and a tray member adapted todischarge into said inner receptacle carried by the hood member,substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
